Chapter 98 Mechanical Island (3)
While speaking, the workers brought steaming food.
Dark said: "Two, these meals may not taste good, but they must be fresh and hygienic. Please rest assured, please."
The plates in front of Sinclair and Ollora were obviously different. Sinclair's was much bigger, and it seemed to be a double-eared pan.
Olola uncovered the lid of her husband's pot and said excitedly: "Wow, red, green, so beautiful! What kind of rice is this?"
Dak said: "Baeya Paella. It contains tomatoes, diced onions, shredded green peppers, chicken breasts, deep seafood shrimp, squid, and some shellfish. The seafood flavor is very strong."
Sinclair was stunned: "These... are all produced in the greenhouse?"
"Not all. In addition to deep-sea aquatic products, some seasonings are introduced, such as black pepper, a specialty on the south coast of the Vedic Peninsula and saffron in the Taran Heights. The two introduced types have not yet grown."
Sinclair was frightened and almost threw the spoon on Dark's face: "Dong, Dongfang?!"
"I have some commercial relationships with the Alabo Empire. Both of them know about the Alabo people's ability to do business. They have a good geographical location, so I can get some specialties in the Vedic Empire and the Polynian Empire."
Aolla said quietly: "Sinclair, I see how you are so embarrassed to put your mouth down. You will eat half of the house in the central city of Jagenk in one meal."
Dark smiled and said, "What is rare about the house in the central city of Yagenk? Two, for me, everyone can enjoy the noble life with the salary of a commoner - as long as you are willing to work hard. Mr. Sinclair, please. Ms. Alora, Mr. Sinclair said that you are pregnant? Congratulations. However, the spicy taste is not suitable for you now. I have prepared you a portion of noodles with tarley tomato sauce, candied lemon, and chickpea almond juice. I don't know if the sweet and sour taste is right for your appetite?"
Olola was so happy: "That's great, so good, I like it!"
"So, please."
The governor said, "The couple is not polite, let go of their stomachs, and the wind blows the clouds."
Seeing the two of them smiling while eating, Dake smiled and opened the plate in front of him.
Sinclair tried hard to swallow a squid whisker and asked, "What are you? The smell is - beef?"
"Onion, black pepper beef, with chili tacos. This is quite large, so we can have a meal with them. As for the lady, let's forget it. These two dishes are very spicy."
“This dish is unheard of.”
"New Tnotiran cuisine, the favorite of the Norzkians. The taste is mainly spicy."
Olola sincerely exclaimed: "You are such a foodie."
"It's not a question. I just worked as a mercenary there, and all the delicious and bad ones were stuffed. The three major national dishes of Xintenotiran: pepper, corn, insects, and insects are not very good, and probably not in line with the dietary concept here. I removed it. Although I can't experience the authentic southern jungle flavor, the profit will be guaranteed. Please!"
After the wind blew the clouds, the couple burped beautifully.
Dark asked, "What do you think? It's up to your taste, right?"
Sinclair praised: "It's quite awesome. The exotic style is really intoxicating. If it's an elegant restaurant, exquisite dining table, snow-white tablecloths, red wine in the goblet, light candlelight, gentle violin, and silver moon in the sky-ah!"
"Your description made me excited, but I don't have the idea of opening a restaurant in Yagenk for the time being. I want to make them into convenience foods and sell them to Yagenk. What do you think?"
Sinclair said: "Ah, convenience food. I know, it is the one that is popular in Yagenk that Red Coral has been vigorously promoting recently - boxed lunches, yes, boxed lunches! A boxed lunch that can be heated by itself!"
Olola said: "I am frank, I can't see how much profit it will be. These dishes are valuable just by ingredients. If they are made into boxed lunches, I'm afraid that rich people will not buy them, and civilians will not be able to afford them."
"Yes," sighed Dark, "so I can only try my best to control the cost, and sell 3 pounds, 2 pounds, 1 pounds, how about it?"
With a clang, the spoon in Sinclair's hand fell to the ground. This time even Aolla was stunned.
Dark stood up, backed his hands and walked slowly.
"The large-scale steaming refinery turns the inexhaustible sea mud into countless healthy and non-toxic high-quality fertilizers. The Garden of Life makes me improved super seeds. The Pillar of Hydra produces high-quality building materials day and night. The Slime reactor gives me a steady stream of magic energy and power - what is Yagenk?"
The couple's dull eyes slowly turned with his steps.
"I was very cruel to the workers. I deprived them of all means of making a living and compressed their skills to minimalist--you only need to press a few buttons to water the crop regularly, and even the fertilizer is dissolved in water. But I am generous, here, each person can only work eight hours a day, if he doesn't want extra overtime pay; then, take six times the salary of his peers. Leaving me, they have been cumbersome and clumsy, and they can't survive at all."
Sinclair felt a little confused. Six times the salary? Workers?
"The wool comes from the sheep, and these wages are part of their labor income, and I just pretend to be generous to return them. Then they burst out with higher enthusiasm for labor and create more profits for me. They can't leave, and they will always be bound by me in factories and machines. Unless, a guy with more advanced technology than me, stronger strength than me, and higher salary levels appear. Yagenk? Don't joke!"
As he said that, Dark smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am the same, bound to death by this system. I will live for it and die for it. Profit, the starting point of all, is profit, and I cannot even choose my own life and death, unless I intend to completely ignore those who live on this system. Even if I wear the yoke and trap made of pure gold, a cow or a horse or a horse. People's fate has not changed at all. The most tragic thing is that even I don't know where the end of this road is."
Sinclair murmured, "I hope this road will never end. I also hope you can bring this lifestyle to Jagenk..." He suddenly became excited: "If Alfran continues to do evil, you won't stand by, right?"
"If it is for profit, I will definitely take action. Alfran kept saying that everything he did was for the principle of fair and free trade and the legal property of private people. In my opinion, it was purely a lie, and it was clearly for the interests of the large consortium. But at present, he did not make things difficult for me."
Sinclair shook his head: "The greed of a large consortium is almost endless, unless the boundary of greed touches the boundary of another large consortium. You have very magical technology, but this is exactly what can stimulate Alfran the most. So, in my opinion, he will sooner or later infringe on your legitimate rights and interests, which is better than..."
Dark smiled and said, "It's better to take advantage of the chaos in Yagenk before taking action. At least, you have to make arrangements in advance, right? As I said just now, it's not in my best interest to take action now, unless the situation changes significantly - I am a person who pursues profits."
Olorachi said: "You are obviously a kind man with compassion, so why do you have to say so badly?"
"If I were to be responsible for myself, I could teach Alfran a hard lesson - think about Wilde, you know that this is definitely not empty talk - but I can't be sorry for the people behind me. Many people are counting on me for dinner. So, I have to do something against my will and do it beautifully."
Sinclair continued to die: "Ah, I can understand what you say. I admire your power that can change the world, but you want to live freely like us."
Olola kicked her silly husband under the table, but looking at her husband's expression, it was probably in vain.
"So, in order to give us a chance to get to know each other up close, are you willing to settle in Stanford?"
The couple looked at each other and nodded without hesitation.
"That's great. Then, I can tell you some secrets with confidence, such as the source of the power of changing the world. Please come with me."
